After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

869 Looking for a Home Tutor

Time passed really quickly. They had all already aged.

Xia He and Qiao Mei chatted inside the house. Not long after, Xia Wen came in panting while holding his bag and the candied hawthorns. The candied hawthorns had melted and almost became stuck together.

“I’m old, I’m old… I can’t even win a few children…” Xia Wen said resignedly.

Xia He walked over to help him with the bag and said mockingly, “You should go to the park to train with Grandpa Qiao. Your health isn’t even as good as Grandpa Qiao’s! When Grandpa Qiao plays the game of sandbags with these children, he can hit accurately even when he is sitting down.”

Xia Wen said stubbornly, “Grandpa Qiao was a sniper back then! Of course he can throw accurately! I’m not a sniper, so I naturally can’t compare to him.”

Qiao Mei did not care about the siblings’ bickering at all and focused on eating the candied hawthorns. Even though they had already melted, Qiao Mei still ate them happily.

When she first got pregnant, she did not have cravings. At that time, the women in the village all said that her babies were blessed because they did not kick up any fuss at all. She did not even have morning sickness, her body was not sore and she did not even have swollen legs.

Now that she was about to give birth, she suddenly had a lot of cravings. She felt like eating everything, but she only wanted a bite because she only wanted to taste it.

If only Xia Zhe was at home, then she would be able to buy a lot of food and just have a taste of everything. She could then leave it to Xia Zhe to finish the rest.

For now, on a daily basis, she had to limit herself to only buying the foodstuff she craved the most. After giving birth, she would try to raise a puppy. Not only could it guard the house, but it could also share the food with her.

“Qiao Mei, why are you looking for me?” Xia Wen asked.

“Oh right! Eldest brother, do you know of any home tutor? The fees and everything else is negotiable as long as the teacher is a professional,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Wen knew of many, but the teachers in the school were not allowed to teach lessons in private. It was better for him to ask his friends for help.

“I have a friend called Zheng Peng. He came back from studying overseas but I’m not sure it’s acceptable for you,” Xia Wen asked softly.

Of course Qiao Mei found it acceptable! An overseas graduate could even teach her younger siblings to speak and write English! It would be even better to have bilingual education!

Zheng Peng was Zheng Yuan’s elder brother. Xia Wen and him could be considered childhood friends. Zheng Peng was a free spirit and his great love was painting. Zheng Peng was also the most outstanding student among them. Back then, Uncle Zheng had forced him to study in the same military school they studied in.

Every year, Zheng Peng’s results were always among the top three. Of course, the most outstanding person in their batch was still Xia Wen, who firmly took the top spot every year.

When Zheng Peng needed to make a decision on whether he would enter the military school, he resolutely chose to go overseas to further his studies in art as he was passionate about painting. Uncle Zheng was so angry that he refused to provide any living allowances. No one knew how Zheng Peng managed to persevere overseas. Now that he was back, he did not do anything and just went around looking for inspiration.

“Are you sure you want Zheng Peng to come?” Xia He asked hesitantly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia He in confusion and asked, “Is there a problem with him?”

“He… he’s Zheng Yuan’s brother…” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei had thought that there was something wrong with this person’s character. She did not expect it to be about this. In fact, she actually had a good impression of Zheng Yuan. Although Zheng Yuan had liked Xia Zhe before, she was a very upfront person. She took the initiative to admit to her mistakes and took responsibility for it.

Who had never done something wrong before!

“It’s fine! If he has the time, then he can come to our house. He just needs to name his fees,” Qiao Mei said happily.

Xia Wen nodded. He would ask Zheng Peng about this when he had time. He had not seen Zheng Peng for a long time as well.

As usual, Li Gui prepared a table full of delicious dishes today and even took out a bottle of good liquor! It was rare for Xia Wen to have time to pay a visit to her house, so she had to take out all her best stuff and treat him well.

“Xia Wen, come over and eat! Look! It’s all your favorite food tonight!” Li Gui said with a smile.

Xia He glanced at the dishes on the table and pursed her lips as she said, “Auntie, why aren’t there so many dishes when I come over? You’re so biased!”

“Then who ate the chicken and mushroom stew I made this morning? Who ate the guinea fowl I cooked the day before yesterday?” Li Gui asked as she looked at Xia He.
